Craftsman oiless = very loud!

I have a 30 gallon/6HP? Craftsman that works very well, but isn't big enough for what I want it to do. It'll operate a siphon feed sandblaster, but it runs constantly. It won't operate a DA for more than about 10 seconds. Die grinder works okay, but the compressor runs constantly. I've had no problems spraying paint with it. I've abused that poor compressor and it's still running strong. I'm not sure what the duty cycle is on the motor, but I'm sure I've exceeded it considerably and it's still kickin'. For simple tasks like inflating tires, operating an impact wrench, blow gun, etc., it would be more that sufficient.

So I’d say if you can find one that’ll operate a DA with no problems, it’ll probably do most everything else.
